This winter, I was one of not tens, not even thousands, but tens of thousands of people throughout North America who participated in the National Audubon Society’s Christmas Bird Count.

Notice anything different about the blog?
RSS subscribers, you probably didn’t notice anything different. But those of you accustomed to surfing into blog.neoninc.org can’t have missed it. The NEON blog is kicking off the new year with a new name and a totally new look!

The NISDVU is here!
Lots of excitement around boxed and shiny wrapped parcels arriving at NEON HQ today!

A mouse in the hand is worth two in a Sherman trap
If not for Kate, this particular specimen would still be living happily in the quieter corners of NEON HQ.

Tracking a million trillion trillion unseen lives, with help
Since their appearance, microbes took the Earth by storm. Now they can be found in any environment capable of supporting life (and in some cases have redefined our concept of the limits of life).

The climate communication conundrum
For one reason or another, we have not been effective at communicating the cause, impacts, and potential threats of climate change.

When ecosystem engineers throw a wrench in your gears
The field contractors informed us that construction had begun on the Arikaree River. Hooray, we’ve been waiting for construction to start! But, this wasn’t NEON-sanctioned construction.

Looking to climate science for ways to deal with data overload
We are trying to design tools that make it relatively easy for you to find both the data you want and/or the meaning in the data (if there is any). To my surprise and delight, I found at WCRP that related efforts are taking place at institutions right in Boulder.

Eyes in the Field, Boots on the Ground
After recently participating in the first ever SXSW Eco conference, I will now think of Austin as a place where a real conversation began that focused on how we can make intelligent and ethical choices regarding the care and feeding of our planet and all of its inhabitants.

Taking a hike before I fly
It’s hot. Like, 100 degrees F hot. And I’m carrying around this heavy, ultra nerdy backpack (which engineering school definitely prepared me for) with a laptop slung around my neck. As I make my way through the field at San Joaquin Experimental Range (SJER), waves of grasshoppers take to the air in hopes of avoiding my unforgiving boots.
